Used 2002 Toyota Camry Consumer Reviews
An 8 Camry owner
My 2002 Camry LE was the 8th Camry I've had since they came out almost 20 years ago and I will always come back. I have had nothing but excellent experiences with Toyota dealerships over the years, with any problems I've had. (and they have all been minimal). I've road tested other cars, but always come back. Best overall value for the money.
Excellent ugly car
This is a great car for its class, except that for some reason, Toyota decided to ugly it up some. It looks like a whale made out of Jello. A friend actually bought one (not me), but I think I'm going to get a used '01 Camry. Obviously, the assorted sqeaks, rattles, and vibes that some people are getting are due to the new body design (and doors, trunk, hood, etc.) not having been widely tested yet. The inside will be as quiet as a mouse next year. : )
So Unhappy
I have had my new 2002 Camry for less than two years. The right dash has squeaked and creaked since day 1. My air conditioning had to be replaced. My radiator (!!) had to be replaced. My oil pan had to be replaced. My charcoal cannister had to be replaced. I have never - EVER - had such a terrible experience with a car. I just purchased a Subaru Forester, and will stick with Subarus from now on.
Best Selling Vehicle AND NOW I KNOW WHY!
Roomy (bigger than the Altima I was considering) with lots of standard features.
Great Car
Bought new and so far no major repairs. Brake problems when new but they replaced the master cylinder. Regular oil changes with synth., change transmission fluid every 30 K (what's in the pan). Otherwise, spark plugs once, and front pads at 114K.
